I'm always in situation trying to help friends and clients clarify where they want to go. GAINSTORMing is easy to learn and provides a clear way to do that. The action items are immediately available after the process and my clients feel energized by the process. Love it!

I love how the Gainstorming tool sort of cheats you into thinking clearly about your goal without you even noticing. And how when you look back on it you see that what you really made is an action plan. I have helped all my family use it and they like it too!
